Scott, check out http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk Great advice on that website and great products too. If you email them, they'll recommend a washing routine for your own car based on colour, etc. Very helpful folk.

Scott... is yours the Saffron Yellow with black wheels that was sitting out front of MMC a few weeks ago? Looking nice if it was... although I would say that.
I just used some of that back-2-black stuff on the plastic bits, and Turtlewax Extreme on the rest. The black wheels... no need to clean

Since getting the F355 I have gone a bit retentive about cleaning cars and 'invested' in one of these Foam Lance things and lots of wierd chemicals for pampering, err... cleaning stuff. http://s79.photobucket.com/albums/j140/ ... F_0001.flv
The car in the video aint mine tho
